Reeling from the out-of-control influx of Muslim invaders from the Middle East and North Africa, Austria’s very conservative Freedom Party (FPO) doubled its votes to finish a strong second in a state election on Sunday, dealing a blow to the two main centrist parties which were left nursing heavy losses.

AUSTRIAN FREEDOM PARTY leader Heinz Christian Strache’s billboard caused an uproar: “Mehr Mut für Wiener Blut” – more courage for Viennese Blood. The next line says – “Too many foreigners does no one any good”

Reuters(h/t Maria J) The conservative Austrian People’s Party (OVP) came in first at 36.4 percent of the vote, despite losing about 10 percentage points compared to the last election in 2009, and was followed by the FPO at 30.4 percent, according to the final results.

The Social Democrats (SPO) lost around six percentage points to finish third at 18.4 percent.

The anti-immigrant FPO has scored over 30 percent in recent national opinion polls, overtaking the Social Democrats and conservatives who have traditionally ruled Austria in coalitions since World War II. We were optimistic from the beginning,” said Heinz-Christian Strache, FPO leader, adding the result had “overtaken our expectations”.

“We believe in our youth, not (Muslim) immigration”

“Today’s election was not about Upper Austria, but about one topic only, namely asylum,” the OVP Upper Austria head Josef Puehringer told ORF television.

“The winners amplified the understandable fears and concerns of the people,” he said, adding he would enter coalition talks with all parties.

Austria has been a center of the migration crisis unfolding across Europe as tens of thousands of people, many of them fleeing war and destruction in countries like Syria, come to northern Europe via the Balkans and to the Alpine republic.

Mass Immigration makes us a welfare state

On Saturday alone, around 12,000 migrants crossed into Austria, a nation of 8.5 million, from Hungary.

FPO national leader Heinz-Christian Strache, who is running to become Vienna’s mayor next month, wants to give preferential treatment to Christian migrants over Muslims to protect what he calls Austria’s western character.

Considered an Austrian heartthrob, Heinz-Christian Strache has even done some rapping against Islam called “Islamists are on the rise.”

Heinz-Christian Strache is quoted:

“We face serious problems in our immigration policy. This largely concerns migration from non-European Muslim countries such as Turkey. More than 50% of Turkish immigrants don’t want to integrate into Austrian society. They don’t want to learn the language and organize parallel and opposing structures. The activities of radical Islamists have become visible in our society. They hinder its peaceful and democratic development. In this sense, we are certainly a political force that comes out against any such radicalization.“

He has also argued Austria should build a fence to stem the large numbers of migrants. In June, the FPO joined other far-right parties such as Geert Wilders’ Dutch Freedom Party and France’s National Front to form a common bloc in the European Parliament.

I don’t care what it says, they mean MUSLIMS. Muslims are the main problem there. That’s not true about Geert Wilders. They recently formed an alliance of several right wing EU parties and Geert is among them.
